| Comments: | Occurs in miarolitic cavities and in masses in garnet-pseudoleucite syenite and nepheline syenite pegmatite. See notes on cafetite. This material was erroneously identified as kassite due to confusion in the literature over kassite and cafetite. The material analyzed by Evans et al. (1986) is most consistent with the modern definition of cafetite; see Krivovichev et al. (2003). | |
